POLITICS: Bode George gives reason why I can never work with Tinubu

Here is the latest political news as the erstwhile Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Bode George, has declared that he can never work with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu because he, Tinubu, plays the “Godfather kind of politics.”

George made the remark while reacting to a question in a recent interview.

The report gathered according to George, “I don’t believe in Bola’s (Tinubu) concept of politics. Their concept of operation in the APC is different from the way I was brought up. A tree cannot make a forest. That is the difference between us. Let us collectively take up the
mantle, not godfather kind of politics.”

The former Deputy National Chairman also commended the Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode for the work he his doing in the state.

He said, “This young man (Governor Akinwunmi Ambode) is doing a great job in Lagos and I am impressed. I went round recently and passed through Epe, while going to Ondo State. I passed through the route several times as a governor of old Ondo State in 1990.

“ I was stupefied by what I saw. He is opening up the ancient villages with good road network and the quality of the road is amazing. Within two years, Ambode has outperformed Babatunde Fashola and Tinubu combined, in terms of infrastructural development, maybe because he is from the civil service.

“He is better than both of them with his achievements. But I can convince our people that when we settle the PDP crisis, we will present somebody who would be hundred times better than Ambode.”
